Benefit for DesiraySunday Nov. 16th 12-7
Mark your calendars and book your flights!
Dear Friends and Family,
We are reaching out on behalf of Desiray and Micah Gardner, who are facing an unimaginable challenge.
Just a month ago, Desiray was rushed to Baptist Hospital in severe pain. Doctors quickly discovered that she has a rare blood clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden. She was hospitalized for 3 weeks—some days bringing glimmers of hope, and others filled with uncertainty. Through it all, Micah has never left her side, spending each night in a chair or cot beside her. As newlyweds, their love and devotion to one another has only deepened through this painful journey.
Doctors are preparing Desiray for open-heart surgery that we pray will save her life. Even with the best outcome, she will require lifelong medical care, on top of the overwhelming hospital costs already piling up. Two weeks into her hospital stay she had to have her left leg amputated just below the knee. They are still uncertain on the outcome of her right foot.
Desiray and Micah are fighters, but the physical, emotional, and financial toll is staggering. Micah has been unable to work as he stays faithfully at her side, making financial support even more critical right now.
We are in the planning stage of this incredible event. If anyone would like to help out or donate a auction item please email Cheryl McBay [email protected]
